Looking for references on antelope outfitters. I dont wanna diy hunt for the first goat hunt. I will do a rifle hunt. I know there is app deadlines in some states. Just looking for a good outfitter to start with. So who have you used?
 
We used SnS through Cabela's this past September in Wyoming. It was awesome and they treated us very well! We all had success (5 of us).
 
I know you said you don't wanna DIY but Wyoming has plenty of easily drawn or OTC tags and LOTS of public hunting land. If your set on an outfitted hunt I completely understand but if you would like more info on a DIY hunt I'll help as much as I can.
 
I can't hit one guided or unguided, so I go the unguided route! Still have shot opportunities and doesn't cost me near as much.
However, if your looking for the state of the art hunts check out Table Mountain Outfitters(close to Cheyenne and closest to you) or Rockin' 7 Ranch, SE or Douglas(also in Eastern Wyoming). Both have informative websites.
 
Casper, WY Antelope Hunt

We've hunted this ranch 3 different times, and 1-1/2 days is the most that it took to tag out on good goats for 4 people. 3 days of hunting for $695 & camp at Quality Inn :).

Myself and several friends have booked thru BMOA at least a dozen times in the past 6 years. Good people.

Good luck!
 
it seems as if wyoming is the premiere destination, is that true? or is new mexico just as good?



thanks for all the input

supposedly bigger goats possible in New Mexico, and there are a ton of them in both states. However, if you're satisfied with the size of the goats that you see, it doesn't matter how many in this place or another make the book.
 
Steve Sheaffer Outfititng is who i used in 1996 in eastern Wyoming.. Took me a whole 3 hours to kill a nice buck. Could have killed one 30 minutes after I got out of the truck, but the guide talked me into waiting on a big one. Fellow that owned the ranch was guiding me and I saw a LOT of antelope.

Wyoming DOES have the highest concentration of antelope for the hunter.

Fun fact: There are more antelope in the state of Wyoming than there are people
 
Unlike whitetails, there is very little size difference with goats between a dink, a respectable one and a trophy set of horns. Look for mass, big prongs and curving tips. Prongs is probably the key. If he has small or non-existent prongs, he is a dink. Those beyond the year and half age generally have 11" to 13" horns. Bigger ones are around, but almost all fall into that range. As many or most young ones have 9" horns, there is obviously not that much difference, especially as seen in the eyes of a new goat hunter.
 
Walker outfitting in Montana.. There are more antelope in Lima/Dillion Montana than anywhere else in the state. You also will see elk and deer on your trip. I love hunting the Dillion area and these guys are top notch.. Very pretty country as well.
 
Last I checked rifle tags are harder to come by in New Mexico.Some outfitters have landowner tags which would eliminate the need to draw a tag but they can be pricey I don't know what your budget is but a reputable outfitter would be over 1000.

In Wyoming you can DIY with no problem. Tons of goats, lots of easy tags.

x2 I went out there on a DIY mulie hunt in 2010 and saw over 500 + goats while hunting on public and a private lease I got onjust calling landowners. I was within 500 yds over several hundred antelopes, and saw lots of nice size lope bucks.

Wyoming does not have OTC tags they are leftovers in some area's but those are usually units with poor public access but there are good units with good opportunity for a leftover.

I meant leftover tags when I said OTC sorry for the confusion.
 
if you have the funds I would probably do a guided hunt, but I had an awesome time on our DIY hunt in Casper, WY last year.

we got a list of ranches from game and fish, started calling and found 3000 acres for $70 a piece. probably spent less than $1800 in the whole trip and we flew into Denver, had a rental and stayed in a hotel.
